Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. "Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.
Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Moabi: Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wũi-ĩiya, nĩ ũndũ Nebo nĩgũkwanangwo-ĩ. Kiriathaimu nĩgũgaconorithio na gũtunyanwo; kĩĩgitĩro kĩrĩa kĩrũmu nĩgĩgaconorithio na kĩharaganio.
2 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
Moabi gũtigacooka kũgaathĩrĩrio rĩngĩ; kũu Heshiboni andũ nĩmagathugunda ũrĩa megũgũũkĩrĩra, makoiga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũkai, nĩtũniinei rũrĩrĩ rũu.’ O nawe itũũra rĩa Madimeni-rĩ, nĩũgakirio ki; rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũgagũtengʼeria.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
Ta thikĩrĩria mbu ĩyo ĩroigwo kũu Horonaimu, mbu nĩ ũndũ wa kũniinanwo kũnene na mwanangĩko.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Bũrũri wa Moabi nĩũkonũhwo: ciana ciakuo cia ngenge nĩikaarĩra ciugĩrĩirie.
5 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
Marambata na njĩra ya gũthiĩ Luhithu, makĩrĩraga na ruo rũnene o magĩthiiaga; marĩ njĩra-inĩ ya gũikũrũka Horonaimu nĩmaiguĩte kĩrĩro kĩa ruo ruumĩte ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa kwanangĩtwo.
6 "Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."
Mwĩtharei! Honokiai mĩoyo yanyu, tuĩkai ta kahinga karĩ werũ-inĩ.
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
Tondũ wa ũrĩa wee wĩhokete ciĩko ciaku o na ũtonga waku-rĩ, o nawe nĩũgatahwo, nayo ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Kemoshu nĩĩgatwarwo ithaamĩrio, ĩrĩ hamwe na athĩnjĩri-ngai, o na anene a yo.
8 The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as YHWH has spoken.
Mũniinani nĩagookĩrĩra itũũra o itũũra, na gũtirĩ itũũra rĩkahonoka. Gĩtuamba nĩgĩkaharaganio, naguo werũ ũrĩa mwaraganu wanangwo, tondũ Jehova nĩwe ugĩte ũguo.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'
Itĩrĩriai Moabi cumbĩ, tondũ nĩrĩkonũhwo; matũũra makuo nĩmagakira ihooru, kwage mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩmatũũra.
10 Cursed is he who does the work of YHWH negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
“Kũrumwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũruta wĩra wa Jehova arĩ na ũgũũta! Kũrumwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũgirĩrĩria rũhiũ rwake rwa njora gũita thakame!
11 'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
“Moabi atũũrĩte agaacĩire kuuma arĩ mwĩthĩ, ta ndibei ĩrĩa ĩĩkeerete, ĩkarika kĩnyita ĩtarĩ nyonoranie; we ndarĩ aatahwo agatwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũcamo wake no ta ũrĩa warĩ tene, naguo mũtararĩko wake ndũrĩ wagarũrũka.
12 Therefore look, the days come,' says YHWH, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
No matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaatũma andũ arĩa monoranagia moke, nao mamuonorerie thĩ; matige ndigithũ ciake irĩ theri, na moragaange nyũngũ ciake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo Moabi nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Kemoshu, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Isiraeli yaconokire, rĩrĩa meehokete Betheli.
14 How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
“Mwakĩhota atĩa kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ithuĩ tũrĩ njamba irĩ hinya, andũ marĩ ũrũme ita-inĩ’?
15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is YHWH of hosts.
Moabi nĩgũkanangwo na matũũra makuo matharĩkĩrwo; aanake ake arĩa ega mũno magaikũrũka rĩũraganĩro-inĩ makooragwo,” nĩguo Mũthamaki ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wĩtagwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
“Kũgũa kwa Moabi nĩgũkinyu; mũtino wake nĩũgũũka o na ihenya.
17 All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod."
Mũcakaĩrei inyuĩ arĩa othe mũtũũraga mũmũthiũrũrũkĩirie, inyuothe arĩa mũũĩ ngumo yake; ugai atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ rũthanju rwa ũnene nĩrunĩkangu-ĩ! Kaĩ mũthĩgi ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri nĩmunangĩku-ĩ!’
18 You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
“Harũrũkai mwehere riiri-inĩ ũcio wanyu, mũikare thĩ kũrĩa kũngʼaru, inyuĩ atũũri a kũu kwa Mwarĩ wa Diboni, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũkaananga Moabi nĩakamũũkĩrĩra, aharaganie matũũra manyu marĩa mairigĩre na hinya.
19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"
Rũgamai mũkĩra-inĩ wa barabara mwĩrorere, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Aroeri. Hooyai kĩrĩra harĩ mũndũ ũcio ũrethara, o na harĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ũroora, mũmoorie atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ gwĩkĩkĩte atĩa?’
20 "Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
Moabi nĩmũconorithie, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũhehenje. Kayũrũrũkai na mũrĩre! Heanai ũhoro ũcio kũu Arinoni, atĩ Moabi nĩ mwanange.
21 Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
Matuĩro ma ciira nĩmakinyĩte bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu: magakinya Holoni, na Jahaza, na Mefaathu,
22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
na magakinya Diboni, na Nebo, na Bethi-Dibilathaimu,
23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
na magakinya Kiriathaimu, na Bethi-Gamuli, na Bethi-Meoni,
24 and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
na magakinya Keriothu, na Bozara: ĩĩ, nginya matũũra mothe ma Moabi, marĩ kũraya na marĩ gũkuhĩ.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says YHWH.
Rũhĩa rwa Moabi nĩrũrengetwo; guoko gwake nĩ kuunĩtwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
26 'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against YHWH: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
“Mũheei njoohi anyue arĩĩo, tondũ nĩangʼathĩirie Jehova. Moabi nĩarekwo egaragarie matahĩko-inĩ make; nĩarekwo atuĩke kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo.
27 For wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
Githĩ Isiraeli ndatuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩwe? Kaĩ aanyiitirwo arĩ gatagatĩ ka aici, atĩ nĩkĩo ũinagia kĩongo nĩkũmũnyarara, rĩrĩa rĩothe ũkwaria ũhoro wake?
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
Tiganĩriai matũũra manyu mũgatũũre ndwaro-inĩ cia mahiga, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Moabi. Tuĩkai ta ndutura ĩrĩa ĩyakagĩra gĩtara mũromo-inĩ wa ngurunga.
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
“Nĩtũiguĩte ũhoro wa mwĩtĩĩo wa Moabi, ũrĩa aarĩ mwĩĩkĩrĩri na akeyona, tũkaigua ũhoro wa mwĩtĩĩo wake o na mwĩtũũgĩrio, o na tũkaigua ũhoro wa mwĩgaatho wa ngoro yake.
30 I know his wrath,' says YHWH, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
Nĩnjũũĩ rũngʼathio rwake, no nĩ rwa tũhũ, naguo mwĩraho wake ndũrĩ ũndũ ũhingĩtie,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
31 therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndĩrarĩrĩra Moabi, nĩ Moabi guothe ndĩrarĩrĩra, ndĩracakaĩra andũ a Kiri-Haresethi.
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
Ndĩrarĩra nĩ ũndũ wanyu, o ta ũrĩa Jazeri arĩraga, inyuĩ mĩthabibũ ya Sibima. Honge cianyu itambũrũkĩte igakinya iria-inĩ; itambũrũkĩte nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Jazeri. Mũniinani nĩagũĩrĩire matunda maku marĩa meeru, o na akagwĩra thabibũ.
33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
Gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka nĩithirĩte kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya matunda, o na kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Moabi. Nĩndũmĩte ndibei yage ihihĩro-inĩ ciayo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhihaga thabibũ kuo arĩ na mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno. O na gũtuĩka nĩ kũrĩ na mbugĩrĩrio, ti mbugĩrĩrio cia gĩkeno.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
“Mĩgambo ya kĩrĩro kĩao ĩraiguuo kuuma Heshiboni o nginya Eleale na Jahazu, na kuuma Zoari o nginya Horonaimu na Egilathu-Shelishiya, tondũ o na maaĩ ma Nimurimu nĩmahũĩte.
35 And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says YHWH, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
Kũu Moabi nĩnganiina arĩa othe marutagĩra maruta kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na magacinĩra ngai ciao ũbumba,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩĩracakaĩra Moabi, nganĩrĩra o ta mũtũrirũ; ĩracakaya yanĩrĩire ta mũtũrirũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Kiri-Haresethi, tondũ ũtonga ũrĩa megĩrĩire nĩmũthiru biũ.
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.
Mĩtwe yothe nĩmĩenje na nderu ciothe cikenjwo; guoko guothe nĩgũteme, na njohero o yothe ĩhumbĩtwo na nguo ya ikũnia.
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says YHWH.
Nyũmba-igũrũ guothe kũu Moabi, o na kũu iwanja-inĩ cia mũingĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ tiga o gũcakaya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũragĩte Moabi o ta ndigithũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩa ĩtangĩendeka nĩ mũndũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
39 How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.'
“Hĩ! Kaĩ nĩkũmomore-ĩ! Kaĩ nĩmararĩra-ĩ! Kaĩ Moabi nĩahũndũkĩte na thuutha nĩ thoni-ĩ! Moabi atuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo, na agatuĩka kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie.”
40 For thus says YHWH: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Atĩrĩrĩ! Nderi nĩĩracuuhũka, ĩtambũrũkĩtie mathagu mayo igũrũ rĩa Moabi.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Keriothu nĩgũgũtunyanwo, nacio ciĩhitho iria cia hinya kuo itahwo. Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ngoro cia njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Moabi igaatuĩka ta ngoro ya mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
42 Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against YHWH.
Moabi nĩakaniinwo atige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ rĩngĩ, tondũ nĩangʼathĩirie Jehova.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says YHWH.
Inyuĩ andũ a Moabi, guoya, na kũgũa marima, o na kũgwatio na mĩtego nĩcio imwetereire,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says YHWH.
“Ũrĩa wothe ũkoora nĩ ũndũ wa guoya, ũcio akaagũa irima, nake ũrĩa ũkaahaica oime irima-rĩ, akaagwatio nĩ mũtego; nĩ ũndũ nĩngũtũma Moabi akinyĩrwo nĩ mwaka wa kũherithio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
45 'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.
“Andũ arĩa metharĩte makoorĩra ciĩruru-inĩ cia Heshiboni matirĩ na ũteithio, nĩgũkorwo mwaki nĩumĩte Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkoima gatagatĩ ka Sihoni; rũracina mothiũ ma Moabi, na rũgacina ciongo cia acio merahaga makarehe ngũĩ.
46 Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
Wee Moabi, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Andũ a Kemoshu nĩaniine; aanake aku manyiitĩtwo mĩgwate magathaamio nao airĩtu aku magatahwo.
47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says YHWH. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
“No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Moabi matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Hau nĩho mũthia wa ituĩro rĩa Moabi.
